UNITY OF TMC & MGP POSSIBLE?
The news item appeared in Herald dated 17.12.21 regarding “more parties to join TMC-MGP poll alliance, says Davlikar” Joining more parties to fight the coming election under one banner in order to defeat the common enemy BJP is a good sign of unity of more parties but what are the principles on which these parties are joining together? Take for example, the main principles of MGP are merger of Goa with Maharastra and Marathi to be the State language while TMC I am sure will never accept these principles on which the shameless MGP is still surviving when both these issues are already dead with the resounding and humiliating defeat MGP suffered in the Opinion Poll held in Goa and incidentally this was the first ever Opinion Poll held in india. Some of those persons who joined TMC like “baddeache Ghantta Boil” from nowhere and who are as given to understand recipients of huge amount of money because of which those who joined TMC surrendered their sense of dignity, self respect. Can all these people tell me what will be their role in putting the full stop by MGP of raising the point of both the main principles of MGP when they come to power? Will not MGP try to implement either directly or indirectly the Merger and Language issues if both combined TMC and MGP come to power? MGP wants an appropriate forum like Legislative Assembly to put these both issues and once the aligned to each other MGP and TMC get the majority in Legislative Assembly, MGP can easily go ahead in awakening all the relevant authorities to revive this issue.
MGP will never sleep idle without creating any effect in its favour regarding both the very sensitive issues on which MGP was formed. There is still a sizeable number of “haddeche” Goenkar supporters of MGP who are still dreaming of merging Goa with Maharastra and Marathi Language supremacy and these people who had their roots in Maharastra their stand is strongly backed by the new Maharastrian entrants into Goa namely Sawants – Patils – and such others, the latest entrants into Goa from the soil of Maharastra are more dangerous. What will be the role of TMC? What guarantee is there that there is not an understanding between TMC and MGP to revive the issue of Opinion POLL? I think TMC and all other parties and individuals should make their stand clear of the support they give to MGP –will it be general or only for few subjects? What will be the role of Tiatrists who joined the TMC? Tiatrists are known from the beginning to reject the political parties that are come into being to sell Goa but currently they too are at least a few of them are kept on sale. The greatest Political singers of yesteryears namely the Trio of Conception – Nelson – Anthony was so great both on the Stage and also on the surface of this blessed land of Goa that they never succumbed to the bribe of Bandodcar of MGP to shut their mouths of criticising of MGP. By being erect they gave very good image of Tiatrists of whose type are rarity now to get. There are some Tiatrists among us now that they are ready even to sell their wives to the Political Parties like Goondas Party.
These days we are seeing resignnations of MLA’s and Ministers because they are become desperate without knowing what to do the next since many of the MLA’s and many of the Ministers are not sure whether they will be given tickets either by their parties or by others to contest the coming election. They are all become so desperate that their health is become worst giving them a feeling that they will die at any moment with Heart Attack just like Mathany Saldanha died. Mathanay Saldanha according to his wife Alina who was made like a Toy by the BJP who gave her election ticket to gain the public sympathy after her husband died while serving BJP, it was during the election campaigning time when he was extremely tired. Alina is blaming now for the BJP and its partymen for ignoring her by passing her, she was treated especially during her second term when she was teated like an unknown entity, She was considred as unwanted by the Government and Party. She felt humiliated by her Party bosses but there could not be done anything better leadng her to leave the BJP Party which she did ultimate;y while BJP said she was thrown out of the party.
When Rajiv Gamdhi was killed, Lalita Shastri the wife of the late Premier of India Lal Bahadur Shastri met her, told Sonia Ghandhi not to jump into politics, you remain out of political arena but Sonia Ghandi refused to heed her advise. She LALITA Shastri herself with due respect and reverence to her dead husband in a purely indian tradition and cultural habit remained non political after her husband death.
It is ok to defeat the BJP for which unity of more if not all the BJP opponents is imperative but on what plank these parties will fight the coming election because every party has its own manifesto. In this case what guarantee is there that they will not fight among them to implement their own manifestoes or else will they draft the new manifesto for all the parties joining under one banner?
